Zhu Han's return trip this time did not have any waves.

All the city-states and small countries are eager to sacrifice their family wealth to please the Ming Dynasty.

Everyone knows that if Da Ming moves his fingers lightly, they will have to destroy the country and the clan.

More than 100 Ming warships passed through the South China Seas and then sailed back to the Ming mainland.

The news soon spread to the Great Ming Ying Heavenly Mansion.

Zhu Han has been gone for more than half a year, and the elder brother Zhu Yuanzhang has been waiting for a panic, lest Zhu Han encounter any accidents during the voyage.

Now that I have received the news that Zhu Han has returned safely, I can't wait to personally take the warship and go to the sea to greet him.

However, the impulse of the elder brother Zhu Yuanzhang is really a bit excessive.

Queen Ma Xiuying immediately grabbed Zhu Yuanzhang and asked him to wait in Yingtianfu with peace of mind.

For such an important matter, only Queen Ma Xiuying can persuade Zhu Yuanzhang.

After more than half a month of waiting.

The Ming fleet led by Zhu Han finally returned to Yingtianfu.

The elder brother Zhu Yuanzhang had already ordered that all the officials of the Beijing Division would follow him to the dock to welcome Zhu Han's return.

The brocade guards of the Ming Dynasty in Beijing were also all dispatched, and the mighty guard of honor set up for ten miles.

Almost half of the people in the city used the suburbs to greet and watch the excitement.

As soon as he saw Zhu Han, his elder brother Zhu Yuanzhang was immediately excited.

Zhu Han led the Ming fleet to the South Seas this time, not only conquering several small countries such as Annam, but also defeating the Delhi Sultanate, and opening up a trade route full of wealth.

This is really promoting the prestige of the Ming Dynasty thousands of miles away.

For three days in a row, Zhu Han was left in the palace by his elder brother Zhu Yuanzhang, eating and sleeping together.

Zhu Han saw that the elder brother wanted to make up for his absence.

Zhu Han could only secretly complain in his heart about this.

Although he knows that his brother Zhu Yuanzhang is worried about him, he is no longer a child.

What Zhu Han wants to do most now is to go back to his palace, hug his concubines, and the large number of Slavic slave girls, and have a good time.

However, Zhu Han wants to be happy, but it is not so simple.

Three days later.

The elder brother Zhu Yuanzhang told him a very important thing.

"Seventy-five, it's time for us to make a move on Chen Youliang.

Chen Youliang led his troops and horses to Xichuan to fight the Tubo people, and the powerful Zhang clan in Sichuan sent people to secretly contact, so that Xu Da could lead the way and enter Sichuan from the north to Chengdu!"

Zhu Han was also very happy to hear the news.

The invincible prestige of the Ming Dynasty is already well known, and the big and small heroes in Sichuan must know that the Ming Dynasty will eventually win.

Like this Zhang Haoqiang, he is very smart, if he can successfully lead the Ming army into Sichuan and destroy Chen Youliang, it will be a great meritorious achievement.

"Chen Youliang not only occupied Xichuan, but also sent someone to take the initiative to contact the Delhi Sultanate, it is definitely not a fuel-efficient lamp, it is better to extinguish him as soon as possible!" Zhu Han also nodded frequently.

"Haha, that's good, let's give Xu Da a holy decree and let him lead the elite soldiers to raid Sichuan!"

Chapter 437: Chen Youliang's Green Hat

West Sichuan Plateau.

Since the fall of the Tang Dynasty, the Tubo Dynasty, which fell in love with the Tang Dynasty, also perished, and since then the plateau has entered a period of chaos.

The various Tibetan tribes were fighting each other, and it was difficult for anyone to establish an effective order.

After Chen Youliang led his army to conquer several Tibetan tribes, he fell into even greater trouble.

After being persecuted by Chen Youliang, an external force, the original internal strife of the Tibetan tribes began to unite!

These Tibetan tribes formed a coalition army, and after spying on the reality of the Chen and Han regimes, they joined forces with other Tibetan tribes on the plateau to attack the Chen and Han regimes, not only robbing the caravans of the Han people

, but also attacked and plundered the city.

Chen Youliang couldn't bear it anymore, and personally led an army of 50,000 to set foot on the highlands of western Sichuan again and wage war against the tribes of Tibet.

After a series of pursuits and drives, the Tibetan coalition finally had no way to retreat and had to engage in a head-on decisive battle with Chen Youliang.

Chen Youliang's army also suffered a lot of difficulties on this cold plateau, and many soldiers had lost their combat effectiveness due to altitude sickness.

The Tubo coalition army elected Gagan as the main general and launched a decisive battle with Chen Youliang in Qingjinchuan.

Cheonggeescheon is the southern tip of the western Sichuan Plateau. It consists of two valleys. There are many snow-capped mountains on the towering peaks on the north side.

Covered in snow all year round and the temperature is dozens of degrees cooler than the surrounding area, fighting in this environment is the most test of the endurance and tactical ability of both sides.

Chen Youliang sent his own Praetorian Guards to take the lead in the attack, and still maintained a strict formation in the face of the tide of the offensive.

Although Gagan and other Tubo generals were experienced in a hundred battles, they had no choice but to temporarily avoid the edge in the face of Chen Youliang's carefully planned formation.

Chen Youliang, on the other hand, took advantage of the weakness of the Tibetans and ordered the soldiers to cover the archers' condescending shots with shields, inflicting heavy losses on the Tibetans.

But Chen Youliang obviously underestimated the determination of the Tubo soldiers who were not afraid of death.

The Tubo people rushed to kill regardless of life and death, resulting in Chen Youliang's injuries were also quite heavy.

Chen Youliang looked at the soldiers who kept falling, his face gloomy.

As the weather gets darker, the cold gets worse.

The Tubo army had long been accustomed to this kind of weather, but it was a great disadvantage for the Chen Han army.

"Withdraw!"

Chen Youliang had no choice but to give the order to evacuate.

If you continue to fight, you will only become more and more dangerous.

Chen Youliang took the troops and took the initiative to retreat to the other side of Qingjinchuan.

Seeing this, Gagan did not choose to pursue.

He knew that if he continued to pursue, he would definitely be ambushed by Chen Youliang in another valley of Qingjinchuan. In that case, even if he wins, he will have to pay a very painful price.

Chen Youliang returned to his tent and sat down at the table, thinking about how to deal with this crisis.

Chen Youliang took a deep breath, calmed himself down, and thought of a solution.

Although the combat strength of the Tibetan coalition army is not very strong, they have the advantage on the plateau, and the equipment advantage of the Han army cannot be brought into full play.

"Your Majesty, now that the Tubo coalition forces have the upper hand, I am afraid that they will soon be able to break through our army's defense line and cross the Qingjin River." Zou Pusheng stood in front of Chen Youliang and said.

If the Tibetan army is allowed to break through the defense line of Qingjinchuan, then the rich Sichuan basin will be exposed to the edge of the Tibetan army.

"What do you think I should do?" Chen Youliang asked.

Chen Youliang didn't expect the Tubo people to be so difficult.

It's just a bunch of uncivilized savages, the kind that doesn't eat hard and soft.

It doesn't work to come to Huairou with them, and it doesn't seem to work well to use knives with them.

At this time, there was the sound of hurried footsteps outside the door.

"Report to Your Majesty, something is wrong." The guard ran to the door, knelt on the ground, and prayed.

Chen Youliang frowned and said, "Say it! What's the matter?"

"Just now, the scouts sent back news that the Tibetan coalition army raided our army's baggage team, causing a large number of casualties to our army." The guard said eagerly.

There is a shortage of materials on the plateau, and once there is a problem with the weight of grain and grass, the consequence is that the whole army will die without a fight!

"I'm looking for death!"

"All-arms war." Chen Youliang shouted.

Chen Youliang knew that it was time for him to give it a go.

Soon, a large number of generals gathered in Chen Youliang's camp tent and waited for Chen Youliang's order.

"All the soldiers obey the order, tonight I will lead everyone to defeat the Tubo coalition army." Chen Youliang pulled out the sword at his waist and said.

"The last will obey." The generals replied with their fists clenched.

"The whole army listens to the order, tonight, our troops will be divided into three ways, and we will attack together on the second watch, and we will be caught off guard by the Tubo dog cubs." Chen Youliang roared angrily.

"Yes!" The generals agreed in unison.

Chen Youliang really didn't want to entangle with the Tubo people anymore, so he decided to take the risk of a night battle and sneak attack.

Under Chen Youliang's careful arrangement, the officers and men of all armies under his command were ready to fight to the death.

The Tibetan army had an excellent physical advantage on the plateau, and they were often not eliminated in positional warfare.

Now that the Tubo people have just grabbed the grain and grass of the Han army, they will definitely relax their vigilance.

"Attack!"

Chen Youliang led the army to the southern section of Qingjinchuan, preparing to fight a battle of annihilation.

And the Tubo army, which had just attacked Chen Youliang's baggage team, was drinking happily to celebrate because they had grabbed a large number of grain and grass materials.

The Tubo people didn't realize that Chen Youliang dared to lead the army to attack overnight.

Chen's plan was ingenious.

Before retreating on the battlefield, the grain and grass were plundered by the Tibetan army.

All of these can show the enemy's weakness and make the Tibetan army relax its vigilance.

When the Tubo coalition army had eaten and drunk enough and was all relaxed, Chen Youliang ordered the Han soldiers under his command to attack.

The Tibetan coalition army did not have the slightest preparation and rushed to meet the enemy.

Chen Youliang's cavalry took advantage of the fact that the Tubo coalition army was not ready, and quickly broke into the Tubo coalition army.

Chen Youliang personally led the charge of the team, and the soldiers of the Han army also showed the fighting spirit of breaking the cauldron and sinking the boat, and defeated the Tubo coalition army in one go.

After the Tubo coalition army was defeated, the remaining personnel scattered and fled, but at this time, where was Chen Youliang willing to give up such a big piece of fat, and hurriedly sent a large army to pursue.

After a bloody battle, Chen Youliang finally slaughtered all the Tibetan troops, and the harvest was abundant, capturing a large amount of grain, iron tools and money.

Chen Youliang's cavalry also suffered losses in this battle, but the overall record was very good.

Chen Youliang led the army to pursue all the way south along the Qingjinchuan River, and slaughtered the remnants of Tubo all the way.

At this time, Chen Youliang had already led his army into the mountainous areas of northern Yunnan Province.

Chen Youliang, who had just won a big victory in Tubo, had not had time to be happy for a day or two when he got a piece of news that made him extremely annoyed.

Three months earlier, Zhu Han led the Ming army to defeat the Delhi Sultanate, which not only made the Delhi Sultanate renegade its alliance with Chen Youliang, but also cut off Princess Alina of the Delhi Sultanate.

Chen Youliang only felt a faint green light appear above his head.

He had already heard that Princess Alina of the Delhi Sultanate was twenty-eight years old, and she looked like a sunken fish and a goose, and she was shy of flowers in the moon.

Chen Youliang even built a new palace in Chengdu in order to marry Princess Alina, as the bedroom of his future queen.

But he never expected it.

Princess Alina, who was supposed to be the queen of her own Han Dynasty, turned out to be a prisoner of the Ming army.

Chen Youliang had heard of Zhu Han's style of acting a long time ago, and knew that he was definitely not a hypocrite who sat still, and if he really saw a beauty like Princess Alina, he would definitely not let it go.

For Chen Youliang, this is simply a revenge for his wife.

"Zhu Han, I'm going to break you into pieces!" Chen Youliang roared angrily.

Chen Youliang roared, and at the same time, he was about to order the mobilization of all his troops and horses to attack the Ming army to the east.

"Your Majesty, please calm your anger!" Zou Pusheng immediately dissuaded.

"Anger? How do you tell me to calm my anger? Princess Alina is my fiancée! She is my queen, and it is a great shame that she was captured by Zhu Han's dog thief." Chen Youliang roared angrily.

"Your Majesty, we can't mess around! We have just fought a big war with Tibet, and we have lost a lot of food and grass for our soldiers, horses, and horses, so we can't go to war easily." Zou Pusheng said anxiously.

When Chen Youliang heard this, he slowly regained his senses,

He sighed.

Chen Youliang knew that he was indeed not suitable for a head-to-head confrontation with the Ming army now, and now Chen Han was a tired army, and if he rashly sent troops, he was likely to be defeated.

Chen Youliang could only temporarily order his soldiers and horses to rest in Yunnan, and wait until they recovered before returning to Chengdu to find a way to retaliate against the Ming army.

However, Chen Youliang, who had just defeated the Tubo army, did not know that the Sichuan defense line, which he felt was impregnable, had actually appeared a huge hole from within.

No matter how strong a fortress is, it can be breached from within.

Chen Youliang, who was far away in Yunnan, did not know about this situation, and still led his army to inspect Dali, Kunming and other places according to the plan.

....

Sichuan, Guanghan North.

In the midst of the mountains, a winding mountain road leads from deep into the dense forest to the open plain.

Thousands of soldiers, armed high, walked along the mountain road to the plain.

This army numbered about 10,000 men, all of whom were lightly armed, and had no heavy equipment other than swords and muskets.

Even the common carriages and horses transporting grain and grass are not seen.

"Xu Shuai, we have arrived in Guanghan, and if we go further, there should be a thief Chen's probe infested."

A middle-aged man in a military uniform said to Xu Da in a very humble tone.

"This time, you can pass through the mountains and forests and raid Guanghan, and your Zhang clan is a great contribution."

Xu Da said with a smile.

"Marshal, our Zhang family has always had the Ming in mind, and now that the Chen thief occupies Chengdu, he naturally wants to help the Ming Dynasty to quell the traitors."

This middle-aged man who led the way was a guide sent by the Zhang family of the Sichuan clan.

The Ming army was able to enter the hinterland of Sichuan so easily, and the intelligence of the Zhang family was greatly credited

Xu Da led 8,000 elite soldiers all the way into Guanghan, and all of them were led by the Zhang family.

"How far is it from here to Guanghan?" Xu Da asked.

Guanghan, as a barrier to the northeast of Chengdu, as long as Guanghan City is captured, it can directly threaten Chengdu, which is close at a short time.

"Almost a hundred and fifty miles."

"One hundred and fifty miles?"

As soon as Xu Da heard this distance, he basically had a reliable idea in his heart.

Now, Chen Youliang, the emperor of the Chen Han Dynasty, led his troops and horses to fight against the Tubo people in Xichuan and northern Yunnan, and the whole Chengdu was very empty.

Chen Youliang didn't know that many of the defenders on the border had already been led by the Zhang family to secretly surrender to the Ming army.

As long as Xu Daneng led the army to capture Guanghan, the powerful clans around Chengdu would definitely surrender.

Now everyone knows that the Great Ming King is invincible!

"Dashuai, our food and grass are only enough for one day, what should we do?"

A subordinate general ran over to Xu Da and said.

"A day's food and grass is enough!" Xu Da looked confident.

In order to cross the stretch of mountains as soon as possible, Xu Da had ordered to abandon too much baggage before he started to pull, including grain and grass.
